AWAKE, A Dream from Standing Rock 4/29

The film tells the dramatic story of the historic #NODAPL native-led peaceful resistance at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, which captured the world’s attention as one of the biggest environmental stories of 2016. Tens of thousands of activists travelled from all over to stand in solidarity with the water protectors protesting the construction of the 3.7 billion dollar Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), which would carry approximately 470,000 barrels of crude oil from North Dakota’s Bakken oil fields through 4 states, under the Missouri River and through the Lakota’s sovereign land, endangering not only their water source, but that of 17 million Americans.
